Go! How fast can your brain process auditory commands?
Explore how your nervous system regulates your body under stress by submerging your hand in cold water.
an you measure the speed of cognitive processes with just our muscles? We will find out! In this experiment!
Experience a real-life brain-machine interface by using your forearm muscle signals to operate a robotic gripper!
You want to move but cannot... can you still control others?
Our brain is incredibly complex, yet measuring its electrical activity can be surprisingly accessible!
Discover how agonist-antagonist muscles work together for balance, posture, and smooth movements.
Explore how neurons in your brain control muscle movements, powering every step, jump, and dance.
Gently touch the Sensitive Mimosa and record its surprising behaviors. See firsthand how plants respond rapidly to touch!
Can muscles produce measurable electrical activity without direct brain commands? Investigate how muscle signals differ between voluntary (active) and externally-induced (passive)
Test consciousness!
Discover how your brain transitions through sleep stages with EEG recordings!
Ever wondered if you could boost your memory simply by sleeping? Explore how subtle auditory cues during deep sleep can selectively strengthen your memories.
Explore how your eyes generate tiny voltage changes as you move them, revealing the secret signals behind your gaze.
Ever wondered how substances like nicotine and MSG alter brain activity? Explore how neurotransmitters affect sensory neuron responses with help from a cricket!
Ever wondered how chemicals like nicotine influence neural activity? Discover how excitatory neurotransmitters dramatically enhance sensory responses in the cricket nervous system!
Somatosensory Neurons – Unlocking the Neural Code of Touch
Discover how neurons detect and respond to different touch intensities in a cockroach leg
In this experiment, you’ll explore how touch neurons respond differently depending on the part of the body that’s stimulated.
Learn how neurons send signals by exploring cockroach nervous system activity driving movement.
Our hearts beat continuously to power our circulatory system, and if we listen closely, we can actually see and hear the electrical impulses that drive each contraction.
Explore how fast signals travel in nerves by measuring spike conduction velocity using an earthworm model.
Some movements are automatic, but when your brain must pick between two, the challenge changes. This experiment puts motor choice to the test.
Dive into the fascinating world of muscle electrophysiology and discover how your nervous system controls precise movements using spikes!
Ever wonder why your muscles start burning and shaking when you do those last few reps at the gym?
In this experiment, you’ll investigate how sensory neurons adapt to constant stimuli, a process called neural adaptation.
Test if alternating electrical currents, like from earbuds, can stimulate a cockroach leg after recording neuron signals.
We’ve explored how neurons transmit electrical signals, but chemical signaling also plays a crucial role in neuron communication.
In this lab, you’ll explore neural communication and motor control with the Human-Human Interface experiment.
Why do we need more than one electrode to measure neural activity? In this experiment, you’ll explore the role of reference electrodes and how their placement affects recordings.
Discover the natural reflex in humans and mammals triggered by water immersion
Electrical impulses aren’t exclusive to animals. Plants like the Venus Flytrap also use electricity to interact with their environment.
How fast can you react? Here we explore visual reaction time—the interval between seeing a stimulus and responding with movement.
Ever wondered how devices like cochlear implants can use electricity to make people perceive sounds?
